Pulte Homes Reviews

I would have answered the 15 question build questions completely differently after I moved in if I had uncovered all the problems with my house. The ONLY thing that went well was the title company for this all cash purchase. My punch list is over 20 items long and no one provides updates on anything. The completely wrong counter/sink/mirror/light bar configuration was installed in my master bath. The data panel/closet in the garage has an electrical outlet that is not connect to anything and the other bathroom has a light fixture was not installed and is sitting on the toilet tank. Those are just three of my issues, but the quality of the build is very crappy. The sales personnel, although very personable, don't know details on what they're selling and the construction manager doesn't know the housing development. Construction manager said don't say there are unfinished items in the 15 question survey after closing because people have lost their jobs over this. You need a real ticketing system for service orders with one ticket per service issue. Then you need to provide regular updates rather than communicate either via email or not at all. As it is, service issues seem to fall into a black hole. ... More

Don’t buy a Pulte home, that’s what I would say to other buyers. Though we worked with some good people, the company as a whole is terrible. They know you can’t afford to walk because of the now much higher prices, and they clearly take advantage of that. Have an issue, tough? We’ll get to it when we get to it. Regardless of how long that may be. They see no reason not to sell a house, even though they don’t have enough people to build them, or enough people to repair them when they are complete. Our inside joke is, what’s not crooked?! We’re now dealing with the hassle of redoing all of our floors, since it would have cost $35000 more to go through their design center. And they don’t have the expense of tearing everything else. It took over a year to build this house, but 3 days before closing, Pulte mortgage was still requesting paperwork. A year not long enough? So please, shop elsewhere.! ... More

What can I not say? Here's a list of everything that went wrong: 1. No communication at all 2. Never told me during the whole process why my home was really delayed for almost 6 months! Interest rates went up, never locked in a rate early because I was told that it would finish next month, next month, next month. and soon December 2021 became May 2022. Pulte didn't care, they just wanted to get the money 3. Workers smoking and eating inside the home 4. No security, hence things were stolen from the home, which then delayed the home 5. Always said that everything has been ordered and they have it in storage, but I am still missing things in the house and I closed two months ago 6. After closing, noticed the dry wall was crooked in multiple areas, hardwood floor was creaking, and paint was not done well. 7. For how much I paid for this house, it was definitely not build to standard or to my expectations 8. I am still finding things that were done poorly. It seems that this home was hurried to be completed, even when they had an "extra" 5 months to complete it Overall, terrible experience and will not recommend Pulte ... More

Was a nightmare with the realtor and the constructor , both doesnot have responsability, care, worst treatment we can imagine, I know the is not a Pulte im blaming for the constuction side and realtor, but you have to select better who will works for your company, you have a name that you have take care , The house was delivered with a lot of things to need to be fix , they did not clenned after construction , the material I cant choose the color or the floor. Bad comunication with constructor .

All started well with the sales but after construction started seems to be when it started to fall apart. When I can tell there are glaring issues w/the quality of work (I don’t have a construction background) & bring it to their attention & it’s repeatedly ignored or we are told it’s fixed when clearly it isn’t we should have known it wouldn’t get better. Clearly crooked framing of windows, stairs that are uneven & poor materials used, extreme use of caulking used around light switches (which is a no-no), poorly mixed grout, all around sloppiness & such a lack of concern that this will be someone’s home. ...

Bad experience all the way around. Paint the shipping from the door garage door is not working light bulb was wrong sink was wrong chipped everywhere on the deck

I was very disappointed with the way the house was turned over to me after closing dozens of things were not repaired or fixed and the house was in disarray unacceptable for a higher and builder.

house quality as good as we expected. very roughly material. and after closing , customer service reaction too slow to fix rest home issue.

This was the worse experience we ever had building a home. We have built 3 other homes in the Charleston area and this was awful right from the mortgage company on. The workmanship is horrendous!!! They rushed building our home and right from the sod, bushes and trees on into the house it is cheap, poorly done, and still not completed after 2 months of our living here!! Even the appliances were wrong! I would never recommend a Pulte home to anyone and would discourage anyone from building with Pulte.I

House seems like it was rushed a lot of issues since being in house 1 month need to take a little more time to have more quality of work

When I started the process and throughout, working with Alex our salesperson was how you would expect from a National builder. He has been the only pleasant part of this experience. Our salesperson tried but could not handle the tasks of a construction manager and we closed on a home that was subpar at most. We were promised Tony our customer service rep would help us rectify the items not corrected. This has been the worst experience in the entire process. His arrogance and failure to understand how to speak to customers is worse than the actual items that were never addressed. Basic home security. My front door is not safe or straight. This was built wrong and needs to be redone! The items from the original punch list from a few months ago are STILL not done. The amount of days taken off work required to wait for workers to show up and still have no idea why they are there is mind boggling. Huge huge disappointment. Damaged tiles, damaged windows, a garage that is filthy and doesn't get cleaned because it was never finished. It goes on and on. Pulte / Divosta should consider addressing these items, especially the service, before customers take legal action. ... More

Awful. It is a new home with countless issues that keep on coming. Everything from broken plumbing, to flickering lights, to poor craftsmanship, The biggest regret of my life was buying a pulte home.

I regret why I signed the closure documents, trusting the people they would resolve later on. I have been told that people would come over but nobody turned up since the time of closure.I still see that few of the works couldn't be completed before closure.These issues have been there since closure and delay. 1) Carpet Issue-I have few nails popped out and kids were injured too.Can you please send someone to tuck in the nails? It is really causing issues while we walk on stairs and afraid that if any guests would hurt themselves. 2)Painting-During the closing walk through,Jen promised that painting would be done at a few places which are still pending and drywall guys couldn't understand,it is not fixed till date. 3) Kitchen drawers Soft closure- During the closure walk through, we informed Jen on this concern.Few of the kitchen drawers are not soft closure which need to be fixed. 4) Window-The downstairs bedroom window doesn't have mosquito net.I think there was a shortage during closure which was told will be fixed once stock is fulfilled? 5) Cement Plot- The cement lot was misplaced at the backyard door during construction.It needs to be placed at the right position in the backyard door,During the construction(Jen/Jodee knows the issue). I would like to replace the rusted pipe with new ones.I do not want to pay for rusted pipes and wrong placed concrete.I paid extra for soft closures and did take upgrades too even though I haven't got fully finished house.Before closure I suppose pulte does deep cleaning when I see my house still has dusty windows spiders all over. Iam sure you didn't charge me for spiders. ... More

Everything was a lie the price on the value of the home is off $262,000 you made extra in profit the work and ship was poor had nothing but problem since I moved in over 34 of them and they’re still not solved

Following closing Pulte does not respond to calls and emails for problems found in the home within 2 months post move in…basement water damage, buckling vinyl plank flooring, external GFCI not working preventing proper use of irrigation system controls, automatic garage door stopped working, backordered thermostats. These are just a few of the items.

Quality of construction is fair at best. Absolutely no follow up after closing on punch list items. Grading of backyard has caused flooding and all parties are pointing at each other. Two month old roof is leaking. Stay away.

If I had time machine I would tell myself not to purchase this home

The quality of the material is so cheap, the finishing and paint are not professional at all, and before the closing, if you point to them that there is something wrong they will fix it immediately but after the closing, they take forever. when you make a request for something that needs to be fixed they might not answer unit you follow up with them. I chose to buy a new home so I can set and relax since everything should be new, but this is so much headque. I'm spending my day calling and sending an email and waiting for people to come to fix it, and only had the home for 2 months.

If you're looking for a builder that will do just enough to get by, then Pulte is your builder. Throughout the sales process, they tell you about their quality promise and all the steps they'll take to ensure a quality build. Then at each and every step of the way, they'll fail to even come close. We've been in our home for 6 weeks now. The week before we closed, our third-party inspector turned in a 30 page report of defects to be addressed. Absolutely no action was taken. After we closed and moved in, we reported numerous other issues. They keep promising they'll come back and fix it. We've been here for 6 weeks now and we are still waiting (although they promise to come and fix everything next week - we'll see). Overall we are extremely disappointed. I truly believe this overall lack of quality is pushed down from the leadership team - I am beginning to wonder if the execution level team members are given the tools they need to provide a better quality home. ...

would not recommend Pulte at all.

The shoddy workmanship and lack of attention to detail were very disappointing. It seems as there were unqualified workers building my house and pulte construction personnel did not hold them to a high standard.

Pulte Homes is not a good company to buy house. Pulte uses very low-quality materials to build houses which is not recommendable to other customers. It is worse company I ever uses. Please think before you purchase any house from Pulte Homes.

bad bad bad bad bad

Everything about Pulte is bad, we had literally several issues after closing, they threatened us to close even with these issues identified during orientation. Very bad people, they are selling junk for 400-500k. Beware !!!

I would rate 0 but there is no option, The quality of build is very bad, Site manager doesnt care about the house. we had 100 problems after closing the home. I would not recommend Pulte to anyone.
